Quote from: 69DirtyRat link=topic=2712.msg15191#msg15191 you need an engineers report for any import built after aug 72 to get full rego!!!! I'm questioning what has to be engineered, if it's not converted and nothing been modified ?Ask them what the engineer has to pass ?????I can see the point with bicycle chain RHD conversions done in the backyard (some are friggin dangerous) but for a LHD car that left the factory that way ? What's he going to inspect ?Do you see my point ?

I'm still looking forward to see one of those bicycle chain conversions.
He's going to inspect that (apart from being LHD) it has the same things Aussie cars had on them in the same year of manufacture.

[I'd be lucky to drive my car twice a month, so paying a grand a year for full rego just isn't worth it to me.I wish I could drive it to work, but I'd be broke in 3 months.Cheers

Why a Mechanical engineer and the $300 that goes with it ?I don't get it, nothing has been re engineered !!!!!!Another government rip off !!!
With respect, considering what you'd have to pay to buy a big block, manual trans '70 Chevelle, I would have thought petrol would be the cheapest thing you'd put in it.
BTW, I probably needed to do it, because of the engine change, power RRS rack, wheels etc.
